Our Ward Members (Etobicoke Toronto)

We love our new ward members!  We were thrilled to discover its members come from over 50 different countries!  Diversity is a great strength!  Our bishop, Tom Pallin, said Toronto means “a gathering of tribes, or meeting place.” That’s literally true with our ward!   Members come from all continents bringing  new ideas, tradition, and deep faith.

President Monson’s visit in 2011

The building we meet in was built in the  early 1960’s when  Toronto’s first stake was formed at the time President Thomas Monson was the mission president.  He came back to visit in 2011.

Last Saturday we enjoyed getting to know some of our ward members better at a Chinese New Year Party. We also enjoyed attending  a temple session at the Toronto temple. And we FINALLY found a place to play racquetball that doesn’t require an expensive monthly membership fee! YEA!

We have also been very busy with our Public Affairs work attending luncheons, writing newsroom articles, visiting people of other faiths, designing event flyers, etc.  (details coming soon)!
